Jan Trutzschler von Falkenstein - Composer
Originally from Munich (Germany), Jan Trutzschler v. Falkenstein is currently living in The Hague (Netherlands). He is active in the fields of improvisation, live electronics, composition, (sound-) installation and performance and brings them together on different levels, regularly in collaboration with video artists.
In order to take full advantages of the possibilities a computer can provide he develops his own software (mostly using SuperCollider).
Since a few years he runs the radio program 'UCON' with Tom Tlalim which features live broadcasts of electronic and computer music.
In search for new sounds Jan started to use electronics and computers at a young age. He received training in classical piano and electronic guitar and founded the experimental band 'das Wahnsinn' (1990-1994), in which electronics took on a strong part.
Jan studied Media Design at Bauhaus University, Weimar, with a focus on sound installation under Robin Minard. In 2005 he graduated from the Institute for Sonology, Royal Conservatory The Hague (MMus), where he studied under Paul Berg, Kees Tazelaar, Joel Ryan, Konrad Boehmer and Richard Barrett.
